Billie Kay & Peyton Royce vs. Sarah Bridges & Macey Evans

Result: Billie Kay & Peyton Royce defeated Sarah Bridges & Macey Evans via pinfall

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

First things first, before the match we saw footage of a parking lot attack on Asuka by Royce & Kay. I’m dubbing it “Peyton & Billie Have A Death Wish.”

Clearly, the direction of the women’s division I alluded to above is this. The post-match promo from the Aussie Mean Girls makes it seem like a fatal four-way match is on tap, unless a tag match happens in the meantime. But Nikki Cross coming to Asuka’s aid only to attack her is inSAnitY. (see what I did there?)

Asuka’s impassioned plea at the end of the episode for a match against “ALL OF THEM” was probably not meant to be as funny as I found it to be. But the streaked makeup and dirty jacket just looked like a bad attempt at costuming.

The Nikki Cross/SAnitY segment backstage was notable for the lurking Killian “Don’t Call Me Damo” Dain. It was also the sanest I’ve seen Eric Young in NXT, so there’s that.

As for the match tonight, it’s probably not a good thing when Sarah “Crazy Mary Dobson” Bridges is the most over competitor in a throwaway tag match that exists just for the post-match shenanigans. But, it’s Full Sail, and she’s been around a couple of times before under various names, so I’ll allow it.

I know nothing about Bridges’ tag partner, Macey Evans. Well, I know she reminded me of a biker version of Michelle McCool, at least. It’s nice to see the women’s division continuing to expand. We’ve still got Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace, and Rosie Lottalove/Andrea in the pipeline, as well. Good times coming up!
